DBasia.news – PSSI took the anticipative step ahead of the intense match between Persib Bandung against Persija Jakarta. Through the secretary general Ratu Tisha Destria, PSSI prepared the sanction, especially for Persib Bandung if there is any riot.
PSSI don’t want the previous incident repeated. Last season, the Persija squad got intimidation from the supporters and the club officials at GBLA. Ramdani Lestaluhu and friends were thrown with water bottles, rocks, and firecrackers after the match.
The worst was when Persija physical coach Yogie Nugraha and Massuer Muhammad Aditya got punched from Persib’s official while entering GBLA’s hallway. The Macan Kemayoran escaped the venue and saved by the police.
After the riot, PSSI disciplinary committee punished Persib with five matches without the supporter. As the anticipation, Tisha warned the supporter to hold back otherwise the club will be sanctioned.
“Yes, definitely. But we don’t want it to be extreme. We trust the supporter,” Tisha said recently.
However, in conducting the sanction for Persib last season, the absence was only for the supporters with the attribute. While the other can enter the stadium.
“Last season, we didn’t ban all the supporters to watch the match. We allowed the others. Why? When they are wearing the blue jersey, they said the blood is blue. Are they deceiving themselves? Go ahead. That’s not the essence of football,” Tisha said.
